Quick House question, for those who watched this last one...

Does anyone remember what equations House was scribling, in the scene where he's trying to diagnose the universe on a glass wall? I recall glimpsing Q's, S's and V's, so I'm thinking they're regarding thermodynamics. This would please me.

Yes, yes. I'm sure there were other interesting mysteries to be found in the episode. But we all have to fixate on *something*.

No promises, but I'll try to BitTorrent it when I get home, and grab a screen for you. If I had to guess, I think he was writing the fat man's symptoms down.

I'm waiting for it to download, but I think that the current theory is that it was just giberish, like how supposedly you can't read in a dream.

From what I saw, I think he wrote:

≡ P + Q + S (I'm fairly certain this is the entire first line, based on arm movements and camera shots)
K ⊃ Ta + Va + Ya (or possibly gamma*a)
Td + Vd + Yd (pretty sure this is the whole line)
→ P ∩ S (based on arm movements and image on screen)
Thus: → S (and more stuff? Couldn't tell)
Thus: 0

There may have been another line after P ∩ S. I'd take screencaps, but I'm currently only getting Black Caps of Doom.

Here's an 8mb clip of that scene. (http://profnano.org/andy/misc/House_board.wmv) Sorry if it's a bit squished.
